Desyncs and Unofficial PvP Rules https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=34772.msg438530#msg438530
« on: December 14, 2011, 05:10:44 am »
I'm planning to compile an official thread soon to deal with desyncs and the unofficial PvP rules.  I wanted to post this so players can post anything they can think of on these subjects so I can include them in the official post.  Some thing I ask be PM'd to be rather than posted since the information could potentially be used for the wrong reasons if not presented carefully.

1. Desyncs
- Procedures and customs when they occur
- Ways to help prevent them from occuring (please PM these to me, don't post them)
- Things that cause them (please PM these to me, don't post them)

2. Unofficial Rules
- Pretty self-explanatory
Carpe Diem!!

It has the unfortunate effect of spamming my gmail account though. D: Anyway, I'll do that next time. ;)

I heard somewhere something about how to deal with desync at the beginning of a match:
If one of the two player is the clear winner, because the other is about to lose, or whatever it happens, that player wins.
If desync occurs and no one has a big advantage, then let's finish the match, each one of the contendant vs the other player's ai; if both matches end the same, then we have a winner.
E.g. : suppose a pvp Mormegil vs TStar, a desync occurs...Morm continues the match on his own pc vs TStar's ai, and so does TStar; if Morm wins vs ai and TStar loses vs AI, the Morm is winner, otherwise let's have a new match.
A issue is that I don't know if those wins can be confirmed (e.g. by screenshot) in less time that if we have a new match.

Yes having a screen shot and upload it is very quick.
I also have the same method and I think that both player should play the AI in every cases.

There's this software, http://puush.me/ , that allows you to screenshot any selection on your screen and automatically uploads it to your account.
I found it to be very useful.
When a desync happens and the winner is unclear (You have to be honest here, this is all for fun), simply rematch. AI's can't be trusted with your deck.
